@Shobeck @wonderofscience Came to the comments to search for a Borg comment, wasn't disappointed 🤣  @mlohbihler @wonderofscience Amazing to think no matter what scale the molecules are arranged they stay cubic. Three dimensions, just so freaky to imagine the forces! Because the big one on the right has the incantation to reincarnate Cthulhu written on it in High Enochian?  You'd think it would stick to food better as a square, instead of bouncing off and landing all over the table.   @wonderofscience So this is where the masters of Laputa, the Castle in the Sky, were hiding their terrible knowledge all along!    We are the Sodium Chloride. @wonderofscience So when you sprinkle some table salt on your food you're just rolling an average number of d6's for a high level shadowrun character The image reminds me of the time I bought an old specimen of salt from the Detroit salt mine. It was/still is a beautiful cube. When my daughter came home I said, “Look at this old salt cube.” I was shocked when she took it out of the box and took a big lick. I was not at all amused, but we laugh about it today. That salt specimen was never displayed for obvious reasons.  @wonderofscience is it really only tablesalt or is this covered with something, like a gold nanofilm? @wonderofscience@mastodon.social I thought maybe they were Dungeons and Dragons dice at first, but then I thought, "Nah ... not enough sides."   |
@wonderofscience resistance is futile!
